"But still... my soul is ordinary. I don't feel safe yet!"

John overclocked his brain as he searched his memories for a way to modify soul.

"It looks like I'll need to get creative!"

"I initially became immortal due to sending some of my intent as a concept back through time. I didn't know it at the time. But this was the cause the real cause of my obsession and seizure."

"My destiny is mysterious..."

"I also explored a world where powers were based on the structure of the brain."

"Just like how my ability to manipulate soul came from the change in structure to my brain."

"I want to change my soul and make it eternal. I want it to be an impenetrable fortress."

"I do have an advantage in this area that everyone else lacks. I once used cerebium to peel away the layers of the soul. It was there I used my lens to see the hidden data of the soul."

"This was how I found the password for admin access."

"But this is my multiverse. The original souls in the otz room were designed by me. There is no admin access left for others to discover."

"So how do I change my soul?"

John's brain was doing billions of operations every second.

"The soul is just the spiritual essence of a person."

"My essence..."

"That's it! How could I not think of this before? Death..."

"Death is the key here."

John was someone with the blessing of Life. He could not die. But he had sealed his blessings for this test.

But there was one blessing he lacked that he had the potential to get.

"Death."

The reason he wasn't blessed with Death was because the member of Deathless named Death never allowed John to move his soul from the otz room to his infinite maze.

He simply didn't trust John.

So when John was fighting concepts. Death was absent.

So John lacked the concept of death.

"I do not know death. But..."

John smiled.

"Let's change that!"

John planned to die!

"My consciousness is carried by my brain. If my brain dies I am a goner."

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"But this is perfect."

John sent a mental command to his body. He stopped pumping his special blood through his body.

He started to feel euphoric as he inched closer to death.

"When a person dies. Their brain often fires off crazily. There is a huge surge in brain activity. The parts of the brain that manage dreams and altered state of consciousness... "

This is what John was hoping to grasp.

He wanted to grasp soul on the verge of death.

The intelligence finally left his eyes as his brain started to work at record breaking speeds. You see, the human mind is hardwired to survive.

John's mind had experience through him overclocking it. This meant the amount of calculations he was doing right before death was increasing exponentially.

He only had a few seconds before his consciousness was wiped out completely.

He was about to fail this test of his.

But something amazing happened. When John 'relaxed' his mind. When his conscious actions stopped. When he gave way to his brain itself.

It began to act like an artificial intelligence. It was changing itself. Upgrading itself.

As his brain cells died. His neurons began to make a bridge. They were reshaping the structures of his brain.

You see in John's sea of consciousness. He had a illusory mental forbidden dao pillar.

This was a pyramid above his spiritual palace.

The 'Project GOD' virus had mostly left John's nervous system alone.

But as John's nervous system started to die...

John's subconscious was simulating all possible scenarios.

But it was too late...

John died.

His body fell over onto the ground. He landed on his back.

When John had a nascent soul. He could use his spiritual sense while in a soul form to see his surrounding as a soul. He couldn't currently perform this feat.

His soul started to leave his body. But what John did next was impossible.

His dead body literally grabbed his soul as it was leaving him. His eyes opened without intelligence to them.

His nervous system had died. It was going threw its death throws. Your thoughts shape your mind. Your mind shapes your brain, and your brain also shapes your thoughts. It is a cycle.

What John did here was create billions of thoughts in his mind at different 'places'.

Imagine this. You can imagine an apple for instance in your minds eye. But where do you imagine it? Is it in the center? North? Up? Down?

Can you imagine it in another dimension?

Can you create an animation with it?

John's brain was creating hundreds to thousands of different images from his life experience of millions of years.

John was using 'life flashing before his eyes' to cheat death.

By making his life images so legendary that they changed the structure of his brain. By the time his brain was already dead.

He had done it!

His brain structure could just barely interact with soul...

But he was dead. But his muscles spasmed. It was if his willpower was so strong that even dying couldn't stop him from achieving his goals.

So he held his soul in his hand and pushed it into his chest.

He however was still dead.

But then he hit his chest. Runes began to light up over his skin.

Again! Again! Again!

He started to cough and the intelligence returned to his eyes.

He began to laugh like a maniac.

"There's no fucking way that worked. I'm not a genius..."

"I'm a fucking monster!"

John felt as if another sensory organ was added to his body. He could feel his soul.

He held out his hands and something he was familiar with happened. He triggered a similar feeling to creating a phantom soul here.

Except this was no phantom soul.

John was holding his soul within his hands.

"It seems my past experience has helped me grasp this power."

"But how am I conscious with my soul outside of my body?"

"I see..."

"I now have a existence, spirit body, and will constructed."

John pushed his hands together as his soul started to compress itself. It was initially white.

"It's all in the spin."

His soul began to spin as it started to turn blue. His eyes also glowed with a blue color.

"The abilities I am familiar with are immortality and being deathless."

"I don't have the creatures souls to compare and copy though..."

"But that doesn't stop me from doing something different."

John etched his runic library on his soul. There were multiple programs. Soon his soul was shielded through formations.

John also retained his ability to see soul.

He 'closed' off this ability as his sight returned to normal.

His soul flew back inside his body.

"I now am a monster in intelligence. I have a perfect body. My soul is also safeguarded. It has become an impenetrable fortress."

"I additionally now have a functioning will, existence, and spirit body."

"I think it is time to cultivate!"
